<p style="font-size:14px;">Joey Conrad (USAF), a PLNU MICS Alumni who graduated in Spring 2016 with a BS in Computer Science, was recently recommended for and awarded the AFCEA Major General Robert Sadler Honor Award. This award is given to the top ROTC commissionee in the nation with a major in anything tech (EE, CE, SC, IS, IT, etc.). He will be going over to Ft. Meade to the 707th Command Squad as part of the 707th Intel, Surveillance, and Recon Group, which works on encryption and other intel activities. </p>
<p style="font-size:14px;">He emailed Dr. Lori Carter to let her know how much the Programming Languages class and Networking class here at PLNU helped him in his work and training he has been doing since graduating. He said he was the "resident expert" in his training due to what he learned in these classes at PLNU. </p>
<p style="font-size:14px;">Congratulations Joey!</p><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-news-image">

<p><em>The border between the United States and Mexico has become a major issue in the upcoming presidential election. It stretches 3,169 kilometers (1,969 miles), crossing deserts, rivers, towns, and cities from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico. Every year, an estimated 350 million people legally cross the border, with some 400,000 entering into the United States illegally. No single barrier stretches across the entire border, instead, it is lined with a patchwork of steel and concrete fences, infrared cameras, sensors, drones, and nearly 20,000 U.S. Border Patrol agents. Getty Images photographer John Moore has covered many miles of the border over recent years, capturing images of surveillance, escapes, arrests, detentions, and encounters between those crossing the border and those securing it.

<p>THE LA FIELD TRIP--MEDIA STUDENTS SEE SIT-COM TAPING</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Every Fall semester, PLNU’s media communication major and Point TV takes fifteen to twenty students on a trip to a live taping of a sitcom recorded at one of the television/film studio lots in Los Angeles. This trip provides students with the opportunity to see how real-world multi-camera sitcom production is done in the TV and film capital of the world. The students get to watch the process of the TV show coming to life by participating as a live studio audience. <span> </span>This semester, the students’ Wednesday, September 21st day took them to CBS Studios to see a live taping of sit-com, The Great Indoors. This show stars Joel McHale from Community and McLovin from Superbad. The show was about an adventure reporter who has to adapt to the times when he becomes the boss of a group of millennials in the digital department of a magazine publisher. </p>
<p>This trip was an incredible opportunity for PLNU media communications students because it gave them the chance to experience the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating a show. </p>
<p>“I really liked the trip and I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because it’s a show that we got to go see as a group and I don’t think that I’m ever going to go see that show live again like that,” said sophomore Analise Nelson. “I thought it was cool that they had the entire writing, directing, makeup staff all together and observing the actors and actresses.” </p>
<p>After entering the CBS Studios and taking their seats in the audience, a warm-up comic came in from behind the studio to entertain and interact with the crowd. He also informed everyone about everything that goes into filming the shows in the studio as well as answer any questions that audience members had. There was also a DJ that played music to keep the audience’s energy up and keep them pumped up, since the studio audience would be there for awhile. Although it was only a twenty-two-minute-long episode, it took almost seven hours to film. </p>
<p>Above the crowd were microphones that would capture and record the sounds of everyone’s laughter whenever the actors would say something funny in the show. The audience’s laughter is not just used for when the show airs on television, but their reactions also help the writers to know what jokes are working. The students got to see this play out several times throughout the show taping by watching the writers create new jokes and make changes to the script on-set and have the actors redeliver the scene.</p>
<p>Students thought that the trip was very educational. They learned many new things, but also saw a lot of the things they do in PLNU’s on-campus studio being done professionally on a bigger-scale. </p>
<p>“One thing that I did notice that I did not know before is that they have the boom mics that they were holding above the set,” said Nelson “I thought that was super cool and I did not know that before.”</p>
<p>The best part of the trip aside from the fact that it was a great learning experience for the PLNU students, was the fun that they had spending the day together. </p>
<p>“I really enjoyed spending some time bonding with my fellow media peeps in Los Angeles. This taping was a great reminder of what I'm working for. Getting to see these established professionals rejuvenated me,” said William Alvaredo. “I believe a lot of us are able to relate with the film crew in terms of long days of shooting which are quite common in our major. Overall, I believe that this trip brought us closer as a department and also gave us a glimpse of what some of us might end up doing.”</p>
<p>A couple of the PLNU students were even able to hang around after the taping was over and talk to Christopher Mintz-Plasse, one of the stars of The Great Indoors, also known as Red Mist in Kickass, Fishlegs in How to Train Your Dragon, and Fogell from Superbad. Students reported that their conversation with Mintz-Plasse was very interesting and some of them got his autograph.</p>

<p>PLNU music undergraduate JACK FRENCH, baritone, stars as the young Woody Guthrie in INTREPID THEATRE COMPANY's production of WOODY GUTHRIE's AMERICAN SONG. Intrepid Theater Company is in Guest Residency for 2016 at LAMB'S Horton Grand Theatre. Tickets are available through the LAMB'S Box Office and website. This exuberant musical celebration of the life and songs of the American folk musician Woody Guthrie has proved so popular that its run has now been extended through July 17. "This Land Is Your Land"... "Nine Hundred Miles"... "Bound for Glory" Songs about the beauty of America, being on the open road, fighting for justice. Songs that gave America its communal voice. As he moved across the country, Woody Guthrie sang the stories of a people fighting to survive a Great Depression, and offered them the hope of a better day. Guthrie has been a profound inspiration to thousands of musicians from Bob Dylan and Joan Baez to U2 and Wilco.</p><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-news-image">
